Nella Last in the 1950s: The Further Diaries of Housewife, 49
"I can never understand how the scribbles of such an ordinary person, leading a shut-in, dull life, can possibly have value." So wrote Nella Last in her diary on September 2, 1949. Sixty years on, tens of thousands of people have read and enjoyed the first two volumes of her diaries, written during World War II and its aftermath as part of the Mass Observation project, now the basis for BAFTA-winning TV drama Housewife 49 starring Victoria Wood.
This third compelling volume sees Nella, now in her sixties, writing of what ordinary people felt during those years of growing prosperity in a flourishing and modernizing Britain. Her diary offers a detailed, moving, and humorous narrative of the changing experiences of ordinary people at a time that shaped the society we live in today. It is an account that's full of surprises as we learn more about her relationship with her husband and their fears of nuclear war. Outwardly Nella's life was commonplace, but behind this mask were a lively mind and a persistent pen. As David Kynaston said on BBC Radio 4, she "will come to be seen as one of the major twentieth-century English diarists."

Fungus-growing ants engage in mutualistic associations with both the fungus they cultivate for food and actinobacteria (Pseudonocardia spp.) that produce selective antibiotics to defend that fungus from specialized fungal parasites. We have analyzed one such system at the molecular level and found that the bacterium associated with the ant Apterostigma dentigerum produces dentigerumycin, a cyclic depsipeptide with highly modified amino acids, to selectively inhibit the associated parasitic fungus (Escovopsis sp.).

Scotland has its own National Trust organization, and like its counterpart to the south, it protects and offers public access to dozens of homes, monuments, gardens and landscapes important to Scotland's history and heritage. It also makes some of its properties available as vacation rentals.
In my last post, I mentioned that a handful of Landmark Trust properties are located in the United States and managed by Landmark Trust USA. They include Rudyard Kipling's Vermont home, a 200 year-old farm that for 20 years was home to Carthusian monks, a Greek Revival farmhouse with magnificent views of Mount Monadnock, and a cozy former sugarhouse located near Brattleboro.

The easiest way to get external websites to link to your main website is to add links to your main site from your other existing websites. If you don't have any, then create some mini-sites.
Mini-sites are small websites, normally containing no more than a few pages.
Let's use an example to illustrate how to use mini-sites. Let's say you have an online store selling baby products. Here are some ideas on how to create mini-sites for your store.
Set up a website offering a list of baby names and their meanings. According to the Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool, there were 598,551 searches for "baby names" compared to only 75,872 searches for "baby clothing" across the Overture network in June 2003. So it makes sense to target visitors interested in baby names. After all, what kind of people is interested in baby names? Parents of course! And do they buy baby clothing? Absolutely!
But why settle for one website offering baby names? Set up additional sites for names in other languages, such as Chinese, Jewish, French, Japanese, etc. You get the idea?
You could also set up a website allowing parents to send email announcements of the birth of their new baby to their friends and families. Include the option to add photos of their baby to the announcement and allow recipients to purchase copies of the photos.
How about setting up a website offering advice on how to protect a baby from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), also known as cot death? I'm sure new parents would find such a site most useful. Plus you would probably attract many links as well.
I'm sure you get the idea. The idea of mini-sites is to create websites that compliment your main website. In general, you should offer free information or service that your customers would find useful. You then funnel the traffic from the mini-sites to your main website.
On your mini-sites, add text links to your main site, as well as to the other mini-sites. Make sure to include the exact spelling of your most important keywords in your text link.
I highly recommend using different keyword phrases on different pages, in order to improve your search engine relevancy for different keyword phrases. Not everyone enters the same keywords when they are searching for a particular product or service.
You can see how I have used this technique to funnel traffic from my free content sites to my commercial sites.
Actually mini-sites are probably not a good description for these sites, as they contain over 1,800 pages of content in total. But their main purpose is to funnel traffic to my commercial websites.
Site popularity refers to click through popularity, and how long visitors remain at the site after getting there. Do not confuse site popularity with link popularity. Link popularity refers to the number and quality of links pointing back to a website.
Direct Hit was the best known site popularity engine, but since Teoma acquired it, the public search interface has been removed and is no longer accessible. As far as I know there are no other major site popularity search engines in existent today.
What Is Click Through Popularity?
Click through popularity refers to ranking links by the number of clicks it receives. One such search engine that uses click through popularity is the Yahoo! Directory. It takes click through popularity into account to determine the rankings of its "Most Popular" listings in each category of its web directory.
To determine if a search engine or web directory tracks click through popularity, simply look at the link URL of an outgoing link. If the link URL starts with the search engine's own site address, it is a clear indication that the search engine is monitoring the click through activity.
It is interesting to note that the outgoing Amazon.com link in Yahoo's directory (see below) is slightly different from the search results link. The reason is probably because Yahoo! uses different links to track the popularity of a link in different areas of the site.


Equifax, which is enduring the fallback from the latest major cybersecurity breach to rock the U.S. market, now has to face up to small businesses (SMBs) affected by the event.
Reports on Thursday (Sept. 21) said the Atlanta unit of The Doss Firm, LLC has filed a class action lawsuit against Equifax on behalf of 28 million small businesses in the U.S. The suit, filed Sept. 19, argues that SMBs have been disproportionately affected by the security breach that led to the compromise of Social Security numbers and other personal information of 143 million Americans.
According to reports in Infosecurity Magazine, the class action lawsuit claims that small businesses were put at risk because they have to pay to access their credit reports via Equifax, as well as because of the potential exposure of sensitive business data due to the hack.
Equifax is facing numerous lawsuits over the data breach that was discovered by the company in July but only revealed to the general public six weeks later. The Federal Trade Commission has also opened an investigation into the incident.


We are often told how we should and shouldn't write. We've all heard the so-called rules. But in this day and age, do they even matter anymore?
Language is dynamic, and how we use it is constantly evolving. Due to the space and style constraints of texting, tweeting, slogans, and brand names, modern-day copywriters and content marketers do not have the luxury of concentrating on grammar. I am here to argue that it would be a waste of time even if they did.
The time spent arguing over the correct use of whom or who is irrelevant in a world where numbers routinely replace letters and words. Grammar guidelines are more of a reference to be used when in doubt, not as a rule. If you're confident in your ability, you can use language however you want.
However, you should always remember that the content you produce is a reflection of your brand, as is your choice of vocabulary. In most cases, you want to be professional, and there is a certain threshold of professional writing.
Yes, we all know passive voice is seen as boring, weak and disingenuous. The term passive voicemay bring to mind a passive-aggressive (ex-) girlfriend or boyfriend who gives you the silent treatment. But passive voice can be useful when an sentence's actor is abstract, unknown or collective. The bad reputation comes from politicians who say things like "mistakes were made" instead of "we made mistakes." In this case, the use of passive voice seems cowardly.
This is a good advice when you're writing an essay or research paper, without a doubt. Other than that, it is not relevant. Take a look at marketing slogans. Are they written in full sentences? No, and neither are product descriptions, email headings, or title tags. The list goes on and on.
Take a look at Buzzfeed. They blast sentence fragments and bullet points left and right to get across as much information as possible in just a few words. Modern-day readers don't have time to explore every idea, and most definitely don't have time to read a whole essay.
On a more subjective note, some people condemn one-word sentences, but personally I see nothing with more oomph than a one-word sentence. Calls to action, sound effects, or strong emphasis can be conveyed perfectly with one-worders. As long as you don't beat it to death, there's no reason for the hate. So, just stop. Please.
Are you sure? Google it.
Don't worry, that wasn't an instruction. It's an example. Google is a brand, but it's also synonymous with searching the web.
We constantly verb our nouns. Vacuum the floor, tape a sound bite, text your friend. The list goes on. Sometimes we even noun our verbs. Did you know the verb form of impact actually existed first? The noun form didn't come along until almost 200 years later! You understand what I am trying to say. Language develops and changes.
But what if it flows better that way? Avoiding these words might lead to redundant clauses or phrases, leaving your sentences awkward and wordy. Stylistically speaking, the occasional use of a conjunction at the beginning of a sentence can be very versatile and effective.
This mantra made sense back in elementary school when the teacher wanted to prevent listed narratives (and then this, and then that…). But we're no longer in school. Sentences take meaning from their context — the sentences and paragraphs around it. Acclaimed novelists have been starting sentences with conjunctions for generations.
And to conclude, why do people stop at and and but? However, while, yet, then, nevertheless, also, by,and unless are all widely used.
Then what should we end our sentences with?
This is definitely a guideline. The basis of this guideline is archaic and following it will make your writing style archaic. Take the sentence above. If we rewrote it to follow this "rule," it would become: With what should we end our sentences?
ok. Especially in content, we don't want to seem snobbish or aloof. We want to appeal to the masses.
At the end of the day, we write for our readers. So, in most cases, we should write the way we speak and not the way the "grammar police" insist on.

Exotic persimmons can be eaten raw, tossed in salads or served alongside meat, chicken and fish dishes. They are a good source of vitamin C and contain dietary fibre. In Victoria, persimmons are at their peak between March and May.
What is a persimmon?
Scoop out the soft, jammy flesh of a ripe persimmon and eat it straight off the spoon. With their exceptionally sweet flesh, you can also bite into a firm, crunchy persimmon just like you would an apple. The fruit is perfect added to salsas or simply combined with a handful of spinach and walnuts and drizzled with balsamic vinegar for a fabulous salad.
Persimmons are native to China, where they have been cultivated for many centuries. The Italian merchant traveller, Marco Polo, traded persimmons in the 14th century and the fruit spread to Korea, Japan and eventually the Mediterranean coasts of France, Italy and Algeria.
By the 1800s persimmons had been introduced to California and Australia.
Nowadays, persimmons are a major part of the Chinese, Japanese and Korean fruit markets and together these countries produce more than 1,000,000 tonnes each year. The fruit is not very popular in Australia, although there are growing markets in Asia for fruit produced here.
In Australia there are two types of persimmon available, the astringent 'soft' type and the non-astringent 'crunchy' type. The astringent persimmon has a slightly flattened top, whereas the non-astringent type has a pointed top and is heart-shaped.The astringent persimmon is only edible when it has become soft and jelly-like and loses its bitterness. Varieties that are astringent include the flat seedless, Hachiya, Hiratenshi and the Dai Dai Maru.Non-astringent persimmons can be eaten when they are firm. They have a crisp texture similar to an apple when eaten at this stage. This type can also be left to soften slightly before eating. The texture of the fruit becomes more like a plum and, if left longer, it will become jelly-like. Varieties that are non-astringent include the Fuyu, Izu, Maekawa, Jiro, Matsumoto, and Wase Fuyu.
Why persimmon is good to eat
Persimmon is a good source of vitamin C (needed for the growth and repair of tissues in the body) and contains vitamin A (important for growth and development and the maintenance of your immune system).
It also contains minerals such as potassium (which helps to regulate blood pressure), and calcium (involved in the regulation of muscle, heart and nerve function and keeping bones strong).
Persimmons contain dietary fibre, which is important for a healthy bowel.
Energy – 100 g of persimmon supplies 280 kJ.
How are they grown and harvested?
Persimmon trees grow best in subtropical and temperate climates (the non-astringent varieties need warmer conditions for the fruit to mature than the astringent varieties). They prefer full sun and should be protected from strong winds.
The persimmon tree is deciduous (loses its leaves every year) and can grow up to 7 m. The flowers of the persimmon tree are either cream-coloured (female) or pink (male). Most trees produce either male or female blossoms but some develop both types of flower (in Australia the commercial cultivars are female). The tree starts producing fruit after about three or four years of growth.
Persimmons grow to about the size of an apple. They start out yellow and become orange and even a tangerine-red colour when fully developed. Astringent persimmons should be harvested when they are firm. If you leave them on the tree, they will soften and become ripe but birds and possums may eat them. Non-astringent persimmons should be harvested when their colour has developed fully and there is no green on the skin.
It is best to harvest persimmons with pruning shears. Snip the fruit and leave the stem and the calyx (the top green part of the fruit that is attached to the stem) intact. Avoid pulling the persimmon from the tree as you risk removing the calyx and damaging the fruit.
Choosing persimmons
Choose persimmons that are plump and round and have smooth glossy skin. Avoid those that have split skin or bruises or other visible damage.
How to store and keep persimmons
Store unripe persimmons at room temperature. Store ripe persimmons in the crisper section of your fridge. Completely ripe persimmons will keep for a few days when stored in the fridge.
Persimmons can be ripened by placing them in a brown paper bag along with a banana or an apple.
Serve a simple chicken dish – slice non-astringent, firm persimmons, toss with chopped parsley and mint leaves, top with slices of cooked chicken breast, then drizzle with a yoghurt, lemon, chopped rosemary and thyme dressing.
Make a persimmon salad – toss chopped ripe persimmon and avocado with mixed salad leaves, then add crispy fried bacon, a handful of mixed nuts and dress with vinaigrette before serving.
Try a Thai beef dish – slice a non-astringent persimmon, toss with chopped coriander, mint, Thai basil leaves, red chilli and sliced shallots, then add sliced grilled beef and dress with a garlic, lime juice and fish sauce mixture.

← LISTENING WORKS. BET YOU DON'T ALWAYS HEAR. I DON'T.
STOP PUNISHING YOURSELF. TAKE A BREAK FROM ANGER.
A post about letting go of hate and anger. As the sages note staying angry, being full of hate is a hot coal that burns you more than those you hate.
You want something and can't get it. Just think of wanting a good night's sleep while have to get up every three or four hours to feed a newborn. Raising a child, particurlaly during the very early years means being constantly interrupted.
Even teens with their need to rebel interrupt your hopes you have been a good parent and guided them properly. If you aren't abusive, and most of us aren not, you have been more than a good enough parent. However, the path teens walk is not controlled by parents. Society and peers take over guiding teens. Usually, parental influence returns when the teen has truly matured. Remember Mark Twain's comment about how much his father learned in seven years – the years between Mark's fourteenth and twenty-first birthday.
Hatred is anger encased in ice and planted all too firmly into our brains and hearts. Fortunately few of us learn to hate our children; but many of us do not know how to let go of anger.
Tip one: Be realistic in your expectations. "Blessed are they who expect nothing" said thePaul de Krief's Microbe Hunters. A good mantra to hold to in terms of your needs when in charge of a young child. In other words, expect to always be interrupted. I have to use the mantra "Not my time" when caring for the grands. Makes me grateful when I can sneak in a bit of doing what I want.
Tip two: Acknowledge your feelings, particularly the negative ones. However, neither stuff long term or act on the urge to vent. Self-sooth instead.
Tip three: My One Minute Meditation is a quick and easy self-soothing exercise. Take a long slow breath in, breathe out slowly, as you smile and say "Thank you" or "Ahhhh." Then breathe normally and repeat a comforting mantra. Mine has always been "Now is Not Forever." Reminds me the bad will pass as will the good. Keeps me strong and enjoying what I can.
Tip four: Go to my free guide to the Daily Twelve Emotional Fitness Exercises. Learn and practice each exercise. They are easy to learn, easy to practice and helpful to anyone dealing with life's stresses, every day angers.
I try not to make easy promises. Letting go of anger is an ongoing process. It has to be. Why? Because every day is filled with situations that frustrate and keep you from doing what you want. So subscribe to my Staying Strong Emotional Fitness Blog for more guidance and support.

The emergence of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) escape mutations in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) proteins has been anecdotally associated with progression to AIDS, but it has been difficult to determine whether viral mutation is the cause or the result of increased viral replication. Here we describe a perinatally HIV-infected child who maintained a plasma viral load of <400 copies/ml for almost a decade until a nonbinding escape mutation emerged within the immunodominant CTL epitope. The child subsequently experienced a reemergence of HIV-1 viremia accompanied by a marked increase in the number of CTL epitopes targeted. This temporal pattern suggests that CD8 escape can play a causal role in the loss of immune control.
Selection for viral sequence mutations which allow human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to evade recognition by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) has been well documented in humans and in animal models (2, 3, 6, 7, 9). However, it is likely that CTL responses vary in their antiviral efficacies, and the timing of escape and its consequences for immune control are also likely to differ among epitopes (10). A compelling demonstration of the relationship between HIV-1 mutational escape and loss of immune control of viremia has come from studies of the highly immunodominant Gag CD8 epitope KRWIILGLNK (KK10; Gag amino acids 131 to 140) (6, 7, 9) presented by HLA-B27, which is consistently associated with slowly progressive HIV disease (8, 13). The emergence of mutations within this epitope has been shown to coincide with increased viral replication and progression to AIDS (7, 9). However, it has been difficult to discriminate cause from effect; viral mutation within this epitope may be the critical event which allows the virus to escape immune control, leading to breakthrough viremia, or the mutation may emerge as a stochastic function of increased viral replication due to some other cause. Here we describe a perinatally HIV-infected child expressing HLA-B27 who maintained a plasma viral load below the limit of detection for many years on minimal antiviral therapy until breakthrough viremia occurred at 9 years of age. Sequencing of autologous virus from samples obtained shortly before this increase in viremia, while the viral load was still <50 copies of RNA/ml of plasma, demonstrates the emergence of a minor population of viral clones possessing a characteristic B27-KK10 escape mutation.
Patient TCH-043 was diagnosed with asymptomatic HIV-1 infection at 27 months of age. A single HIV RNA measurement performed on plasma obtained prior to antiviral therapy revealed a viral load of 307 copies/ml. The subject subsequently began dual-nucleoside therapy with zidovudine and didanosine, and all HIV-1 RNA measurements over the next 7 years were either below the limit of detection or measurable at fewer than 400 copies/ml (Fig. 1, top panel). A detailed study of the subject's HIV-specific CTL response was performed when the patient was 7.4 years old, during the period of fully suppressed viremia (previously described in reference 6). Recognition of defined HIV-1 optimal epitopes and overlapping peptides spanning Gag, reverse transcriptase (RT), Nef, and gp41 (15-mers with 10- to 11-amino-acid overlap, based on the SF2 sequence) was assessed in a gamma interferon (IFN-γ) enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay with 10 μM peptide and 50,000 to 200,000 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) per well, as previously described (5). The subject displayed a highly immunodominant IFN-γ response to the B27-restricted Gag epitope KRWIILGLNK (B27-KK10; 1,925 SFC/106 PBMCs). A second response of considerably lower magnitude, also restricted by HLA-B27, targeted Gag epitope IRLRPGGKK (B27-IK9; 192 SFC/106 PBMCs). No other responses were detected in Gag, RT, Nef, or gp41. Retrospective testing of cryopreserved PBMCs obtained at the time of diagnosis revealed that the response to B27-KK10 was already present when the patient was 27 months of age; B27-IK9 and A26-EL9 were not recognized at this early time point (Fig. 1, middle panel).
When the patient was 9 years old, marked changes in the HIV-specific CTL response occurred. The frequency of IFN-γ-secreting T cells specific for B27-KK10 declined precipitously (Fig. 1, middle panel). During this interval, immunodominance shifted to two other epitopes within Gag: the previously subdominant B27-restricted epitope IRLRPGGKK (B27-IK9) and the previously unrecognized A26-restricted epitope EVIPMFSAL (A26-EL9). Comprehensive screening using overlapping peptides spanning all HIV-1 proteins revealed that the CTL response had broadened considerably to target at least 17 distinct specificities (Fig. 2). Subsequently, after 7 years of stable viral control, an increase in viral load to 640 copies/ml of plasma was detected. Viremia persisted over the next 7 months, and the viral load increased to 5,400 copies/ml. Antiviral therapy was discontinued, with no significant effect on the subsequent viral load measurements (<0.5 log change).
To determine whether viral sequence changes mediated by immune or drug selection pressure coincided with the reemergence of viremia, longitudinal HIV-1 sequencing was performed on samples obtained at initial presentation (age, 2.2 years), shortly before viral breakthrough (age, 7.8 years), and following the increase in viral replication (ages, 9.4 and 10 years). At the age of 7.8 years (viral load, <50 copies/ml), the HIV-1 sequence could be determined only following culture of virus from CD8-depleted PBMCs. HIV-1 RNA was extracted directly from plasma at all other time points. Nested PCR was performed using primers and conditions previously described (5), followed by TA cloning (TOPO TA cloning kit; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.), DNA purification (QiaPrep Turbo Miniprep system; QIAGEN, Valencia, Calif.), and sequencing on an ABI 3700 DNA analyzer from Applied Biosystems.
Following breakthrough viremia, all 40 viral clones possessed an arginine-to-threonine substitution at position 2 within B27-KK10 (R132T) (Fig. 3, top panel). This R132T mutation has previously been shown to prevent binding of KK10 to the HLA-B27 molecule (6) due to loss of the critical P2 anchor residue. Interestingly, this R132T mutation predated the increase in viral replication, as it was already present in 3 of 14 clones isolated from the patient at 7.8 years of age, while plasma viremia remained undetectable (Fig. 3, top panel). Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis indicates that the viral escape sequences that predominated after viral breakthrough are likely to have originated from clones displaying R132T (Fig. 3, bottom panel), suggesting that this mutation conferred a strong selection advantage. Although several RT mutations conferring resistance to nucleoside analogues were detected following viral breakthrough (V118I, 215Y, 211K, 210W, and M41L), each of these mutations was already present when the patient was 7.8 years old, while viremia remained undetectable (11).
Mutational escape from the KRWIILGLNK epitope has previously been shown to coincide with the emergence of viremia among B27-positive subjects after many years of spontaneous viral control. However, in these cases, limited sample availability prevented determination of the precise timing of CTL escape relative to the loss of viral control. Therefore, it has been suggested that the emergence of the viral variant may have been the result of increased viral replication rather than a causal contributor to breakthrough viremia. The longitudinal data presented here demonstrate that escape from the immunodominant CTL response clearly preceded breakthrough HIV-1 viremia in this long-term-nonprogressing child. The decline in the magnitude of the KK10 response and the shift of immunodominance to other epitopes occurred prior to any measurable return of viremia. Although the subject had been receiving long-term nucleoside analogue therapy, no RT mutations emerged coincident with the increase in viral load that were not already present while viremia was suppressed, making antiviral drug resistance an unlikely explanation for the reemergence of viremia. While it is possible that secondary escape mutations arose subsequent to the R132T mutation and contributed to the return of viremia, none were identified in RT or Gag.
The reason for the late emergence of B27-KK10 escape mutations in the course of HIV-1 infection is not clear, but Kelleher et al. have hypothesized that selection for the more-common R132K escape mutation may require an antecedent L136M mutation in order to overcome structural constraints imposed by the p24 molecule (9). It is of interest to note that this putative "compensatory" L136M mutation was apparently not a structural prerequisite for the R132T escape mutation observed in patient TCH-043.
Viral escape in this patient was accompanied by a marked expansion in the number of CTL specificities targeted. It has been hypothesized that a broad, polyclonal CTL response may be advantageous for viral containment, an assumption which is supported by the survival advantage conferred by HLA class I heterozygosity (4). The temporal association of immunologic failure with the broadening of the CTL response in our patient suggests that the relationship between CTL breadth and immune control may be more complex than previously thought and that increased CTL breadth may, at least in some cases, be indicative of a failing immune response. Overall, the number of CTL specificities targeted by chronically HIV-1-infected adults does not correlate with viral load (1). A highly focused response targeting fewer epitopes has been found among long-term nonprogressors expressing HLA-B57 (12), although it could be argued that the narrow response in such subjects is related to decreased antigenic stimulation in the setting of minimal viral replication. The broadening of the CTL response in our patient cannot be readily attributed to an increase in plasma viral load, because the expansion in the number of targeted epitopes preceded the reemergence of measurable HIV-1 viremia. The observed association between CTL broadening and loss of immune control warrants further exploration in longitudinal studies.
Longitudinal clinical, CTL, and viral sequence data for patient TCH-043. AZT, zidovudine; DDI, didanosine; SFC, spot-forming cells. (Top panel) Longitudinal changes in viral load and CD4 count from time of diagnosis to present. Where viral load measurements were beneath the limit of detection, the threshold value is shown. Viral sequencing was performed at the time points indicated (×), given in years of patient age. (Middle panel) Longitudinal changes in CTL recognition of three immunodominant epitopes were assessed by an IFN-γ ELISPOT assay. A26-EL9 was not tested when the patient was 7.2 years old, but a 17-mer containing this epitope (AFSPEVIPMFSALSEGA; indicated by an asterisk) was not recognized. The dotted vertical line indicates the earliest measurable return of viremia (640 copies/ml) at age 9.4 years. (Bottom panel) Fraction of autologous viral sequences containing the R132T mutation.
Broadening of CTL response precedes viral breakthrough. Recognition of overlapping 15-mer peptides spanning clade B HIV-1 Gag, Nef, RT, and gp41 was assessed by an IFN-γ ELISPOT assay when the patient was 7.4 years old (2 years before viral breakthrough) and 9.2 years old (2 months before viral breakthrough). In addition, 18-mer peptides spanning all other HIV-1 gene products (gp120, Rev, Tat, Vpr, Vpu, Vif, protease, and integrase) were tested when the patient was 9.2 years old but not at 7.4 years of age. Missing data are indicated by asterisks.
Longitudinal HIV-1 sequence changes in B27-KK10. (Top panel) Longitudinal changes within the Gag epitope B27-KK10 were determined by clonal sequencing of samples from patient TCH-043 and the subject's mother. The R132T mutation in B27-KK10 was present in a minority of clones when the patient was 7.8 years old but became the predominant species at the time of viral breakthrough at age 9.4 years. Minor variants are shown in gray. The number of clones with given mutations per total number of clones is given in the final column. (Bottom panel) Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree showing the evolution of HIV in patient TCH-043 over time. Branch color corresponds to the time point at which each clone was isolated (given as age of patient TCH-043 in years). All viral clones within the shaded box possess the R132T mutation.

Prompt was something along the lines of "Eagle clutching a Fasces, Shield, Red and Purple." I mean with a prompt like that it's going to look good. Again, more colours than recommended but it works.
I absolutely loved making this one, the colour scheme speaks to me on a level I can't describe. 5 colours, but it works!
Another fairly tight commission but I'm happy with how cleanly it came out.
SO MUCH COLOUR!! Took me forever to recolour the barley to blue and yellow but it was worth it!
So the backbone of this nation is supposedly slave labour! Interesting prompt no doubt, but I think it turned out well! Had way too much fun playing with the chains.
Dragons and Ermine! (The little symbol things) And a very striking red to boot!
Bit of a concept for a nation, had a fairly free run on this one. Styled off of that famous NZ concept.
Bit of a trip to South America anyone?
I got to use a photo for this one! So cool!
I love the use of the Barbary Lion (RIP). Very Middle-Eastern feel which I love.
Everything about this one, from the colours to the script and symbols is very unique to me, as well as the 4:2 ratio. Had a lot of fun working with this one.
This nation basically gave me the puzzle pieces to put together. All the files came with the prompt! I just stitched together. I know they loved it though, and so they should. Brilliant idea!
How good is the PINK! I really enjoyed working with the more exotic shapes/colours on this one.
Same flower as the first flag in this post, would you believe it! This time the colours are more synced up. Going for a Socialist feel again.
This was my take on the prompt, swapping a yellow background for a more unique cream. I think it pairs nicely with the red gems.
If this flag could talk, it would be screaming about the monarchy in Dutch.
This flag is a mashup of so much symbology and fictional history I'd have to go through 10+ NationStates dispatches to explain, basically we lost the war but did it with a pretty sick flag.
My absolute pride and joy of any flag on this page. Prompt was "Armenia to the max!" I only hope I did it justice!
The prompt for this one was literally as complex as the flag, have a squiz and you'll see what I mean. Absolutely eclectic and ignores most of the vexillological guidelines on complexity, but I actually love how it turned out. And so colourful!
For those of you who survived to the end, I have a special treat. Feast your eyes!
Japanese Death Star, need I say more?
An unclaimed concept for Nueva Philippines. To this day I still look at the Hong-Kong flower and wish I could meet whoever designed it.

How loose is Nebraska going into Saturday`s showdown against Oklahoma? So loose that the Cornhuskers even had their sober-sided coach, Tom Osborne, quaking with laughter in a team meeting this week.
As I-back Keith Jones explained it: ''Sunday night, Tyreese Knox and Willie Griffin (Nebraska players) were walking down a street here in Lincoln when a guy came along with a box. He told them there was a VCR in it and he`d sell it to them for $60. They gave him the $60 and took the box, and when they got home and opened the box, there was nothing but a couple of bricks in it.

In today's world with frightening headlines blasting the worst possible scenarios into our homes, and the stress of the daily responsibility of providing for ourselves and our families weighing heavy on our hearts, coupled with the unpredictable, unwelcome, unwanted, unbelievably hard or harsh circumstances like floods, fires, relationship strife, death and disease it is very easy to get depressed, discouraged and down-trodden.
But God has a solution for our despairing hearts!
to show up and show off! After doing a word study, to summarize the meaning, this hoping is to be exercised: surpassingly, repeatedly, increasingly, intensely, exceedingly, continuously, regularly, consistently, and perpetually! When I drew the verse in my Bible art journal, I pictured a geyser of ever-flowing hope!
My contribution to Discovering Hope in the Psalms is a series of inspirational devotionals that help women apply the psalms to their everyday lives and keep HOPE ALIVE. To help me keep HOPE ALIVE, in my bullet journal, I have pages I write my "God-Sized" hopes and dreams and I wrap them with scripture so I can pray the Word over my life.
The key to securing a hope like an eternal spring is also in this same verse, "praise you more and more". The "more and more" means to accumulate or gather praise—and in doing this gathering we fuel hope. One way to picture accumulating or gathering praise would be how you might walk through a garden to gather flowers to create a beautiful bouquet or through a mall gathering gifts for family and friends that will bring joy!
So to capture praises to fan the flame on hope, in my bullet journal, I have pages to accumulate praises. One looks like the sun with praises written on each ray. Another is a vase with praises on each flower petal. Accumulated praise could also be drawn as gift bags collected while shopping, presents under a Christmas tree, waves on the ocean, or shells on the beach– use your imagination to personalize your record of praise!
What an incredibly unique and creative Bible study Pam, Jean, and Karla have created! It's multilayered, dimensional, theologically rich, touching the senses—enlightening the mind, capturing the heart. Well done, beloved Sisters! Thank you for this gift.
important day, dressed us all up in our very best and bought me white gloves and an Easter bonnet to wear on my first day of going to the "House where God lives." There, in that little tiny church, in a little tiny town, a little tiny girl met the GREAT and GLORIOUS GOD.
My life was forever transformed for the better. I soon began a personal relationship with the Creator God I had been whispering to. Eventually my mother, my siblings all began a relationship with Christ– and the day my dad died, he too, while reading Steps to Peace with God by Billy Graham, finally gave his broken heart to the One who had been lavishing love over his life, waiting patiently for His prodigal son to come home.
Lord, give me eyes to see who needs a relationship with you, and the courage to invite him or her to come hear about You, the God who loves us all enough to go up Calvary's hill and give your perfect life, in payment for our imperfect lives.
Lord, I want to know You. I, too have been talking to You, hoping, wishing, praying for a better life here on earth and an eternal home one day in heaven. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. I receive that free gift of Your love.
Pastor Pete Jankowski once put it like this, "The cross was not Christ's destination– YOU were." .Jesus went through the grueling pain of the cross out of love for you! God reached out in sacrificial love to you, now, simply reach back in surrender to the God who created you, knows you and loves you.
